Snap together modular elements with straight connector

Abstract

A snap together connection system whereby panels or other elements can be connected to form structures. Catches snap into latches thereby connecting panels or other elements. Snap in straight connectors may be used as a bridge to connect panels or other elements in-line.

I claim:  
     
         1 . A snap together panel connection system comprising: 
 a first and a second panel each with an edge and two corners;    a latch and a catch, each catch with deformable slot walls and each latch with an enlarged head extending, located near each corner; and,    a straight connector with at least one latch and at least one catch, each catch with deformable slot walls and each latch with an enlarged head extending, whereby the latch of the first panel is snapped into the catch of the straight connector and the latch of the straight connector is snapped into the catch of the second panel.    
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising at least one alignment to limit sliding movement of a snapped together latch and catch.  
     
     
         3 . A snap together connection comprising: 
 two elements each connected to at least one of a latch or catch, each catch with deformable slot walls and each latch with an enlarged head extending; and,    a straight connector with at least two of a latch or a catch, each catch with deformable slot walls and each latch with an enlarged head extending, whereby each element is connected to the straight connector with a latch or catch of each element snapped into the corresponding latch or catch of the straight connector.    
     
     
         4 . The connection of  claim 3  further comprising at least one alignment to limit sliding movement of a snapped together latch and catch.
